Incredible Video: Watch A Russian Crane Operator Leap To Safety As His Crane And A Bulldozer Topple Into A Cavernous Hole

It has been a while since we brought you some completely mind-blowing video from Russia, so we decided that it was time to peek around and see what we could find. In true BangShift fashion, we scored big time. This video is awesome because there is massive amounts of wreckage and a close escape from death among other things. We’re certainly not crane operators around here so we’d like to hear from someone who is on the cause of this catastrophe. Was it a lack of counterweights on the back of the crane? Operator error in some other form? We want to know!

To set the scene, it looks like our Russian heroes are on a job site of some kind and their assigned task is to lower a pretty substantial bulldozer into what appears to be the open foundation of what was once a large building. Perhaps the dozer was needed to push stuff into the reach of the crane, where it could be pulled out? Again, not a damned clue as to what the end result was supposed to be. We’re confident in saying that it wasn’t supposed to be the bulldozer lying in a smashed heap and the crane toppling into the hole and landing on the dozer upside down.

You’ll need to watch this a couple of times to revel in just how effed these guys are when all is said and done, how close the crane operator comes to riding his crane into the hole, and the amazing noises created by dozens (hundreds?) of tons of steel crashing into a semi-enclosed space.
